a Raid of mounted infantry.
Lieutenant Beattie, with a squad of mounted infantry from Fort Stevenson, three miles south, has been scouring the country about Woodbury and the vicinity where McCook was murdered for the last three or four days, and was unable to discover any guerrillas except a deserter from Galbraith's cavalry.
When discovered, he mounted his horse and fled; but being closely pursued, he alighted and took to the ravines and knobs on foot.
He was finally overtaken, but the lining from the glove he wore, and just grazed his hand.
The deserter's name is Alfred or Alferd, and is said to be a dangerous man. He was discovered at widow Pee's or Pices's, Hollis's Creek, Cannon County, which is said to be a resort for this class of men. Under command of such an energetic officer as Lieutenant Beattie, and such gallant boys as little Wisconsin always sends into the field, the bushwhackers and guerrillas in this and the surrounding country will be summarily dealt with.
